I was a PFC/SP4 military policeman (tower rat) 95B type stationed in Hardheim from late '79 to '81. Nike site and went by the moniker "Bull or The Bull".
Fondest memories of the site were the friends made (K. Crist, B. Watts, C. Sosebee, D. Wise, Beak, Big/Little Tillman, Queen (that cook made the best SOS I've ever had), and all the other crazies that lived there. Hardheim (and area) offered us the Frau Dor's White Horse Gasthaus (Hello Red, wherever you are), Höpfingen (paprika chicken was the best), Batu Disco, Rocket (Hang Glider) Hill, and the occasional trip to Engles (home of the biggest schnitzels in the world).
I've returned to Hardheim about 1/2-dozen times in my civilian life and, as expected, 50 years changes everything!
Protecting the skies, from things that flies!
Any old colleagues, please feel free to reach out. I may not remember you, because that 50-years has left its mark on me as well (ha).

Comments: I was in Hardheim in 1967 thru 1970. At first it was C battery 1st of the 67th then was redesignated C Battery 3rd of the 71st. I was close and with Loyal Ben Brocket, now passed away, Joe Zawacki who passed away about a month after his wife Marlena in 2023, Robert Kennedy who is also passed away. Dennis Landry who I've lost contact with. And many others who I have lost contact with. I married a girl from Walldurn and we've as of this coming September have been married 55 years and still going strong. I forgot to mention Danny Liposhack who now is a musician in a blues band. There are some others who are active on the Nike Group on Facebook.
